Global National: Sept. 13, 2023 | Decades of lawlessness leave flood-ravaged Libya fragile

In tonight's top story: Fierce flooding in Libya has thrown an already-fragile country into turmoil, with more than 5,000 people feared dead and thousands more still missing. Redmond Shannon reports on the exhaustion and grief among survivors and first responders; and what some people say is to blame for the disaster and hindering the response.

Days after a deadly and powerful earthquake rattled Morocco, survivors have been left to languish in tents. Crystal Goomansingh travelled to a remote village of Ighil to speak with an imam about what he experienced on the terrifying night of the quake and hears how he says it is his "duty to look after the dead."

British Columbia Premier David Eby is outraged after a man on an unescorted day pass from a forensic psychiatric hospital allegedly stabbed three people in Vancouver. Eric Sorensen reports on the reaction from the attack victims, the accused's violent history and the questions surrounding the British Columbia Review Board's process.

At least 310 people have now been infected in the E. coli outbreak linked to six Calgary daycares. Heather Yourex-West explains what testing of a central kitchen did not find and how this outbreak is being compared to the May 2000 water contamination tragedy in Walkerton, Ontario.

The federal government is hyping up its "landmark" $74 million deal to build homes in London, Ontario, but turns out, the impact seems minor. Mackenzie Gray explains why that money is not new, what the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation says is actually needed to restore affordability and how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's housing solution challenge for mayors won't work.

Plus, phenylephrine, the main nasal decongestant ingredient in popular cold and allergy medications, doesn't actually work in tablet form, according to advisers from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The report could lead to over-the-counter medicines such as Dayquil, Mucinex and NeoCitran being pulled from shelves, and one Canadian doctor isn't surprised by the U.S. FDA’s findings. Katherine Ward explains the alternative methods to treat congestion.

And, the shortage of mental health professionals has left many Canadians struggling for help in their time of need. But a B.C.-based group is stepping up to fill the void. Neetu Garcha explains how Lumara Grief & Bereavement Care Society is helping people navigate grief and loss.

And who might it be who is responsible for the lawlessness. Libya used to be a shining light.

I had the opportunity to visit the Moroccan mountains, and I must say that the people I encountered there were some of the kindest and most generous individuals I've ever met. Despite having very little, they express gratitude for what they possess, emphasizing their resilience. While they currently require assistance, their mental fortitude is remarkable, and I believe they will swiftly recover and return to their regular lives. If you visit again next year, you'll be amazed by their unwavering hospitality.

just because the government tells you to stay inside during a flood. doesn"t mean you have to. it would have been wiser to get out of your house and find higher ground with your family.

"Decades" -- no, just with a little help from America and France.

[kevin-ynns]

Obama made Libya great again! He is such a saint!

[gghad]

gee, what happened to cause the decade of lawlessness? hmmmm

[Trdundee]

Doug Ford is talking about building home now the prime minister says the same thing which is very encouraging but they should also consider that some units should have in-laws apartments included in them. The layout should be tenants friendly.

Was the earthquake also due to criminal negligence? Everyone wants to blame human beings so that they can avoid facing the judgment of God on the world. These things are happening daily around the world. This is not global warming, this is God's judgment on a wicked world that refuses to return to Him!

[kittyfan]

if you want slow, go to Lahaina Hawaii. That happened when....almost a month ago now?

[litterbug]

Unless cold medicine, but a experimental inoculation with 276 side effects works 😂😂😂

Did Liyba try making gold curency again

[jakejimstone]

About the housing. Do you know that you cannot build your own roof trusses? You have to order them from a store. If you live outside of the city and want to build your own home, then you have to wait for the store to build them and ship outside the city ($$). Regulations up our butts, prevents anything from getting done in Canada.

The Word of God has the best council in the Book of Psalms.

Damn. Housing will be unavailable and soon middle class people will be homeless in Canada. Nothing we can do about it, it is already an issue, and with 0 plans in motion and or just really slow. It will only ever get worst.

Every Thought Laid Bare
Psalm 139:2, 4, 23: “You know [the psalmist is talking to God] when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. . . . Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. . . . Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts.” Or Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart” — that’s the phrase: “the meditation of my heart” — “be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
And then there are numerous texts about God testing and seeing the heart and the mind, like Psalm 7:9: “Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous — you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God!” Or Psalm 26:2: “Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.” Or Jeremiah 17:10: “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind.” Or Jeremiah 20:12: “O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind . . .”
Then there’s the same thing in the New Testament. It speaks of God searching the heart. Revelation 2:23: “All the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart.” Then the idea of God’s discerning the intentions of the heart is picked up in Hebrews 4:12: “The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and the intentions of the heart.”
In the final judgment, God will take into account the secrets of the heart, Paul says in Romans 2:16: “. . . on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.” Repeatedly, we read that God knows the heart and its thoughts. First Corinthians 3:20: “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” He knows the hearts of all men. Acts 1:24–25: “The apostles prayed and said, ‘You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to [be Judas’s replacement].’” God is the great heart-knower, the great mind-knower.
“God is the great heart-knower, the great mind-knower.”
Jesus, in his ministry, had a huge quarrel with the Pharisees and the scribes precisely because they pretended to be something on the outside that they were not on the inside. And Jesus knew that; he knew what was inside of them. Matthew 23:25–26: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.” Or the way John summed it up in John 2:25: “[Jesus] needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.”
